I still hate it and love it. I've already said why I hate it (aside from saying I really wanted a Cell Games or Main/Buu Saga Vegeta) so I'll just state why I love it. I used to have a Jakks Frieza's Revenge Vegeta and a Jakks Alien Invaders Vegeta and I loved setting them next to each other on my shelf, I thought they looked great together and it will be very cool to do that with the Figuarts versions. This likely won't apply to many people but another reason I love it is because of the dark outfit. I can easily buy an extra and make some cool stuff with the parts (I only make Figuarts customs when I can find joints in the appropriate color, I don't like to modify or sand the joints, it's tough to do properly and I want my figures to last long). The SDCC Vegeta plus a Datong Vegeta torso/gloves/boots and I'll have an anime accurate Namek Vegeta...then I can take the SDCC Vegeta head (that is more red than brown for some strange reason), repaint it a little, and have a very nice and somewhat official SSGod head for Vegeta that I can then use with my first SS Vegeta. That has me pretty excited even if it isn't an official form for Vegeta. The dark suit might also make it easier for me to make an anime accurate Buu Saga Vegeta (I was already working on one but it has a light outfit to match the real Vegeta figures). I doubt I'll do that though. Maybe. I'm not sure. Caps said he was going to take pics of one next to his Zeem Arlian Oozaru Vegeta...that should be pretty cool to see...and...well, it just looks cool. Havok and some other people raised some great points as well, it's much better to have this version being scalped than a Cell Games or Majin Vegeta when both are already in high demand. If this idea of yours ever comes to fruition, I'd love to commission that namek saga vegeta from you!

This isn't something that people should be disappointed in! When I saw the SDCC exclusive this morning on Tamashii's facebook page, I'll admit, I was pretty bummed out. But realistically, if the SDCC exclusive is going to be sold everywhere for triple of four times the price, I'm happy it was Arlian Vegeta, because it's not a big character just like Adrenaline was saying. If they had released anybody new, and the ebay market was selling them for 200$, how many of us would actually be happy about forking over that kind of money? I'm not paying $200 for Captain Ginyu! If anybody will be picking this guy up from SDCC I will pay them 60$, as I feel that is a fair enough profit for the work they've done , not $200 bloody dollars! As for the people saying that badman Vegeta would be the next exclusive, I tell you right now I'd buy him immediately! Now THAT would be an exclusive!! Ahha

I really feel that the ginyu force would be a perfect release for them. They are KNOWN for their Power Rangers and Kamen Rider figures! Along with the sentai characters, they have also been releasing sailor moon figures of late. I see no reason not to have the ginyu force

Very simple yet elegant job. Timone did some great work! By the way, is that some patriotism I spy under your stand or am I tripping? Scotiabank savings tin! Vegeta guards it for me ahaha. Alows him to be placed above the other figuarts

iami2eapei2 it was you I was thinking could pull off this custom this shouldn't be too much trouble for me at all. time is the issue. The other big issue is joint rub on those knees. we will see how my krillin turns out. the vegito and gogeta don't like it when you bend their knees too much LOL I'd be happy if you'd want to tackle this, I've seen your work and its great! There's no rush on it at all. The only thing I'm worried about is the sculpting of the armor, and if it's doable or not

I am waiting to see what this krillin looks like! I love the namek/frieza saga, and he looks so cool in saiyan armor. Good job so far!

I always liked that outfit, and wanted to see a Figuarts release of the character as well. there are only a handful of merchandise that are based on that outfit I actually just purchased the Bandai HG and Banpresto HSCF. It's really a shame that he doesn't have more merch. I'd be willing to pay a bit to see the figuarts custom made. It would be amazing!

Hmm the challenge would be re sculpting the brown abdomen part, unless you get a ss vegeta but that would be a really expensive custom.If that isn't a big deal to you then it can be done. Also needs a darker blue but that's about it. I did this custom for brow dynamite which was namek armor vegeta but the later episodes. I think i'd have to go with the Saiyan Saga Vegeta, just because its more affordable. The custom itself would still cost me some money, but seeing those ss vegeta's going for like $250+ really doesn't give me that option :/
I'd love to see it though, I'm positive there's somebody on here that could do that little bit of resculpting and the darker blue (Navy blue would be perfect) on the jumpsuit. Unless they charged me 200$ the custom would be cheaper! ahha Btw, love your work on the customs in that album! (Also those D-arts pokemon are a great choice, I'mm just missing blastoise)

If one of the amazing customizers on this forum were up to the task, i'd buy that Saiyan Saga Vegeta and send it to them ASAP lol
I love this uniform for vegeta, but such little merch for it in comparison to other armours. Plus the S.H. Figuarts line is just amazing!

Would anybody be able to do this? My customizing skills are brutal, and I'd love to have the 4 vegeta armours. I already have the saiyan one and a namek one on the way. I am of course referring to this Does anybody think they could turn the Saiyan Saga vegeta into this beautiful piece of art here?
